MKN Electric Griddle Plate 2121134A – Smooth, Optima 700

A 300 x 540 mm smooth griddle surface in a 400 x 700 mm Optima 700 body gives the 2121134A a compact footprint with enough plate area for a focused cooking station. With one work zone and 5.4 kW of electrical power at 400 V, this unit is sized for targeted production rather than a large bank of grills.

On board, the 400 x 700 x 700 mm dimensions simplify integration into an Optima 700 line where depth and working height are fixed by the surrounding modules. A single 5.4 kW connection is straightforward to allocate on a 400 V galley distribution board, and the defined load means the electrical engineer can include it cleanly in the energy budget. At 50 kg net weight, it is light enough for handling during installation, but the galley designer still needs to provide a suitable base or plinth so the stainless body can be securely fastened in line with the vessel’s hygiene and stability standards.

The working area of 300 x 540 mm concentrates heat into one zone, which suits stations handling a limited number of portions or operating as part of a wider Optima 700 suite. One work zone keeps control logic and wiring simple, and ensures the full 5.4 kW is available across the plate when required. The 700 mm corpus height lines up with other Optima 700 appliances, so pans can move from adjacent equipment onto the plate without steps or gaps in the work surface. Gross weight is quoted at 55 kg for shipping and lifting calculations, allowing the shipyard to plan handling gear and route through doors and stairways.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout provides a uniform material specification for the housing. This makes welding to adjacent stainless furniture straightforward at the yard and means cleaning regimes can be standardised across the line. Because the griddle is prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system, it can be integrated into a central load-management scheme so peak demand across multiple 400 V appliances is controlled rather than left to chance.

• Thermostatic temperature control

The 2121134A is a good fit where a single smooth plate is needed in a 400 mm module, for example a focused à la carte or finishing station in an Optima 700 galley run. It is the wrong choice where multiple temperature zones or a larger grilling surface are required in one piece of equipment; in those cases the designer should look to wider or multi-zone bodies in the same series.
